by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Соловей
 (Sung text for setting by C. Cui)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
В безмолвии садов, весной, во мгле ночей,
Поёт над розою восточный соловей.
Но роза милая не чувствует, не внемлет,
И под влюбленный гимн колеблется и дремлет.
Не так ли ты поёшь для хладной красоты?
Опомнись, о поэт, к чему стремишься ты?
Она не чувствует, не слушает поэта;
Глядишь, она цветет; взываешь -- нет ответа.
